lofs under linux?

[sluge]

Hello!
When I was under solaris, it was useful to use lofs to have acess to the same dir via different pathes, for example,
to /opt/mysoft I also can go using /home/igor/thesoft. This isn't a symbolic links, it is really alternative path!
Is any similar solution under linux?
PS:I use RHEL

lofs is pretty much limited to solaris, but you can possibly accomplish the same thing in linux by using a bind mount.

Mounted via /etc/fstab:

LABEL=Drive\040H				/mnt/Drive_H		ext4	defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro			0	2

/mnt/Drive_H					/nfs4exports/Drive_H	none	rw,bind							0	0

This example, the filesystem would be accessible via /mnt/Drive_H or /nfs4exports/Drive_H

I guess it would depend on why you wish to be able to access it via alternative paths.

Or just use symbolic links...
